"Vice Mayor?"
He Ao looked at the blonde woman before him.
Ilan City's vice mayor was Lynn's running mate. The city had many scattered political parties, and in order to win the election, Lynn had united not only the radical parties but also some of the centrist ones.
It was precisely with the support of those centrists that Lynn had ultimately won the election and become the mayor of Ilan City.
Vice Mayor Lant was the representative of those centrist factions. His political views leaned moderately conservative, and he did not particularly support Lynn's large-scale radical reforms.
Although their political views clearly differed, Lynn had still chosen him as his running mate. The purpose was simple: to reassure those centrist parties.
When Lynn's reforms ran into trouble and faced the pressure of the conglomerates, Vice Mayor Lant had vaguely become the "banner" of the conservatives and centrists within the governing coalition.
And as vice mayor, he was also the mayor's first successor. If anything happened to Lynn, then according to Ilan City's constitution, the vice mayor would directly succeed him as mayor of Ilan City and complete the remainder of Lynn's term.
"Yes."
The blonde woman looked at He Ao and nodded lightly. "The moment news of the assassination attempt on you spread, he called to ask about your condition."
"Alright."
He Ao nodded slightly, picked up his Brass Cane, and walked toward the elevator at the side. "Transfer Vice Mayor Lant's call directly to my wristband."
"Yes."
The blonde woman nodded lightly. Watching He Ao's retreating figure, she quickly added, "Besides Vice Mayor Lant, other cabinet officials and General Scott have also called..."
"Tell them I'm fine. I only suffered some minor injuries. Tomorrow during the day, I'll give a livestreamed speech at the Mayor's Residence concerning recent events."
